Kingsland Resident Artists program 2018/19 – APPLICATIONS CLOSED

The CSO is initiating an exciting new venture in 2018 with the implementation of an 18-month Residency program. We are seeking outstanding players of the following orchestral string instruments: violin, viola, cello and double bass. The CSO will appoint up to four Residents.

The Canberra Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is the largest professional performing arts organisation in Australia’s capital city and the largest employer of professional musicians in the region.

Founded in 1950, the Orchestra has had a close association with the Canberra School of Music for many years, and currently performs in Llewellyn Hall at the Australian National University.

We provide a professional axis for established musicians and a professional gateway for Australian early career musicians and composers.

A CSO Residency is a perfect springboard to your career. CSO Residents will live in Canberra and will be offered the following professional development opportunities.

Perform in all CSO concerts.

Small ensemble and chamber music opportunities with established CSO Musicians.

Professional experience in Education, Corporate, and Outreach programs.

Workshops on career development.

Assistance in building a teaching studio.

If this immersive opportunity is of interest, we would welcome your application.
